As you know, yesterday was our season opener against Marian (IN) College. The weather didn't seem to think it was baseball season because it was absolutely freezing out, literally. Cloudy skies, cold temps, and windy conditions did not make it feel like a day of baseball. With highs in the low 30's, and gusty winds making it even colder, it did not take long for parts of our body to go numb. However, we braved the elements and did what we do best--win games.
We had a bit of a slow start offensively in the game, but we soon turned that around. Our pitching did a very good job along with our defense, allowing only one error. We ended up winning 5-2 against a team that beat us last year. I was very impressed with the team's morale and their ability to keep their heads in the game. There's nothing like starting off the season with a victory.
Today was our second game. We had to travel to Louisville to take on Spaulding University, another NAIA team. Again, the elements did not want to cooperate. But we had to deal with it. At least the sun was out so I guess I can't complain too much. Our offense got us an early lead and our pitching staff maintained that lead for most of the game. They took the lead on us in the 6th inning by a run. But in the 7th we answered with three runs of our own, putting us up by two. We added an additional run late in the game and our pitching staff remained sharp, along with the defense. The final score was 7-4 in favor of the good guys. We are 2-0 heading into a double-header Tuesday against Alice Lloyd.
